@Pan, Hi Pan Can you tell me what your personal favorite ceramic spray sealant is? Also, What ceramic spray sealant would be good to use after buffing a car with 3D Speed? Thanks
@PanTheOrganizer Pan, it would appear that in the UK the Ice turtle wax seal and shine, isn't the same product by name or design which you have, we do have a turrle wax seal and shine available to us but it isn't the one you appear to have. Any ideals?
I’ll skip that video and just let you know which ones.... there’s only three you need.... collinite845 is one of the best ones I think. Get it warm and put a spray nozzle on the bottle and your golden.... after that cures I top it with bead maker. Bead maker is awesome alone you just need to apply it more often if that’s all your using. And the last one would be jescar powerlock plus. If you use that first on a clean surface let that cure and top it with collinite to add a lot of shine. Hell you could go crazy and use all three of you let the previous application cure... your go to quick applications will be the collinite and bead maker. Those two alone when I don’t have time for the other keep my car shiney and sooooo waterproof it’s insane!
@@kevina4674 Have you used the newerTurtle Wax products? I just bought a DA for some minor paint correction and had was planning to use Powerlock topped with 845, but I've seen a number of people saying pick one (no need to layer), and others recommending Seal n Shine over Jescar. Curious if that's ease of application (spray), price, or if they believe it's actually a superior product.
I'm always trying different products for my vehicles. I wasn't a big fan of turtle wax products, I used to prefer meguiars or mothers. Before this past winter I needed a new ceramic coat on both vehicles to protect the paint as best as possible. All of the Turtle wax Hybrid ceramic products are amazing and super easy to use compared to other ceramic products. I'd recommend the hybrid wash and wax, ceramic wet wax, the 3 in 1 detail spray for in between washes and the ceramic polish/wax. All 4 products will run you just below $80 at walmart. Hope this helps you out. Good luck
What would be really cool is to get a test panel, split it into 3 sections, and apply carnuba wax to one section, polymer sealant to another, and ceramic coat the last section, so you can visibly see the differences side by side of wax vs sealant vs coating
I have had good luck with the Mothers CMX spray ceramic coating as well as the Meguiars ceramic spray coating. These types of spray ceramic infused coatings are my go to for paint protection now, I layer on carnauba for that extra warmth. Great results for me! 🇨🇦
For those of us of a certain age, accepting that you can just spray and rinse protection took awhile to comprehend. I discovered Griots about 20 years ago and that opened up a whole new world to me, but having so much access now on RU-vid to detailing has taken my knowledge to another level. I having always used wax but when it's time to wax again, I'm going to try just Wet Coat. The last time I waxed, I didn't realize I could just use Wet Coat, so I applied it after I waxed my car. Ceramic coating would be great, but in every video I see it being applied, part of the paint prep process involves machine polishing and that is something I'm not willing to try. Pan, you're great and keep the great content coming.
Thanks William! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RU-vid as we surpassed 860,000 subscribers and we have almost 110 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
I'm in the same boat. After decontamination process, claying, etc. Apply a wax and then wet coat after maintenance washes, until you strip and wax again?
I have always preferred to use carnuaba wax. I like the look it gives and i believe that getting in touch with every inch of your car every few months is a good thing. You can have new scratches or dings or surface rust starting that you may never notice if you only coat it every 2 years. A person don't notice as many details on a maintianance wash.
I just got addicted to detailing my cars this past year after 30+ years - better late than never! I’m enjoying the sealants or spray coatings because I can easily change to different products every so often. Maybe will go to a ceramic coating at some point but having fun trying different products for now. Recently used Ethos Ceramic Wax Pro and love that it’s a wax-type product but with greater protection.
Another great video Paaaaaan! Im loving the Maguire’s Hybrid Ceramic spray. So easy to use and very little prep work. Can you comment on the prep time needed for each category. Will you need to remove all previous applications? Clay bar? Paint correct? Before applying wax/sealant/ceramic etc?
Pan, can you explain the “lifetime warranty” ceramic coating packages? For example, Ceramic Pro Gold. How does it work? What is the catch? As always your videos are top notch, thank you.
Pan cannot thank you enough for the information and work you put into these videos. One last question if possible, I know everybody has different tastes and preferences but if you had to choose between the BEST ceramic spray from your list. Which would it be and why?
You will soon find out in my upcoming 2020 car detailing products awards video dropping in September! Stay tuned as this year’s edition will be huge! :)
cracking video Pan, good information and explained very well. Unfortunately with a vehicle outside 24/7, very hard to prep correctly for full ceramic coating. So Si02 is a great option for me.
I've tried the meguiars ceramic hybrid, and the durability and water sheeting compared to traditional waxes was soooooooooo much better and super easy to apply. Glad I invested in a ceramic type wax.
A K I’ve used meguiars ceramic hybrid for the past 6 months & love it. To answer your question, if you wash them before the water drys in the towel, it came right out. I let one dry and tried washing it, I had to throw it away.
I also love the meguiars spray aswell it helps me to keep the meguiars hybrid ceramic liquid wax glossy and absolutely love the water beading. I got excited the first time i used it an it rain 2 days later n I saw the water beading OMG it was crazy. I tried the paste waxes but just didn't get on with them maybe I was too lazy
Peace be upon you, I am from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whichever is the best product that gives the shine of the car. I order from America, I wish I would select two products to order it.
Another great video, Paaaaaaaannnn! ☺️ To answer your question my favorites are Meguiar’s Synthetic Sealant 2.0, JesCar Power Lock Plus, and Collinite 845.
What makes it great? What have you compared it to? I really like some of Griot's stuff so I might give it a shot. I really like Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish paint sealant because it is SUPER easy to apply and it flashes SUPER fast. For a step up I go with PowerLock+. For spray on-spray off I use Geon WetCoat.
I, too, have been a Griot's customer for many years. The new 3-1 Ceramic Spray is excellent and very easy to apply and buff off. Can't wait to try it on our Lake Erie Sea Ray 460.
Great video, I like these kind. I also like that you differentiate SiO2 spray sealants from ceramic coatings. I couldn't help myself from scrolling down though the comments to see how many afflicted with Beadmaker mania were triggered. They're sad Pan, you left them out. 🙁
Great content Pan! I tried the Carpro UK 3.0 on my Portamao Blue BMW M340i. Followed your tutorial to a T. Had too many dark spots which upset me.,Had to remove it with the Rupes DA polisher. I reverted back to spray on Carpro Reload . Now no stress, anxiety or dissatisfaction with high spots. I don’t recommend self applied ceramic coating , unless your Pan the Organizer Car Detailer Extraordinarie!!
I had the same problem with CQuartz, went to Gteqniq and had no problems at all. Exo V4 will last close to 2 years and looks great with C2V3 spay topper every once and a while. I am a fan of CarPro products but found CQuartz a bit difficult to work with and also needed to machine off high spots.
Any truth to this? Because of the hardness of ceramic coating, swirl marks are incredibly difficult to remove (DIY) by hand polish. It would require a professional machine polish to remove swirl marks. Also, ceramic coatings can crack when the car is parked in hot / sunny climate / regions year round like countries along the equator.
I was always a big fan of the polymer sealant when it came out. However the ceramic coatings is a natural transition, and as Pan says, the durability and gloss is indeed insane!!
Another great video from Mr Pan !!! What i use : Meguiars hybrid ceramic wax, respraying it every month. And Meguiars last touch after every wash. Im a private driver so i wash my car daily .
my preference is to first apply Meguiars polish, buff off to a nice shine, then apply Meguiars NTX polymer sealant. Lasts 6 - 8 months. If I have time, I will use a quality wax (after the NXT) on my roof & bonnet, just for the extra protection.
Bead Maker is a spray sealant. You can use it as a stand alone paint protectant (but protection only lasts 3-4 weeks) or you can use it on top of existing waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings.
Pan, no P&S Bead Maker in this video. I started using it because of the review you made. By far my favorite. What do you think of using Car Pro Cquartz UK 3.0 and topping with bead maker?
I talk about Bead Maker so much that I simply forgot about it in this video lol. Oh well. But yes for gloss it’s nuts. And I loved it on my previous BMW that had CQuartz UK 3.0 on it! Watch my Bead Maker review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J7uc4AlarpU.html
Sound and conducts him self as a real professional, Good man and a real professional car detailer. Excellent work you have for sure motivated me. Thank you
Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I have been detailing cars for over 22 years now, and I love sharing my knowledge and passion with my viewers. We have built one of the biggest detailing channels on RU-vid together. That's why I call this the Pan TheOrganizer family! :) How did you discover my channel?
By far, my favourite is Maguire’s hybrid ceramic wax ( blue bottle ). Wash car, spray when wet and wipe off. Even very forgiving if you don’t wipe some spots, turns transparent. No curing time needed, excellent shine and makes car easy to wash off grime and winter road spray. The complimentary Maguire’s Ceramic detailer ( green bottle ) is the perfect product to dry clean your car from light dust. Provides a deep rich colour of the paint. I use both of these products exclusively on both cars and my Harley Davidson where it gets into those cracks , crevices and hard to reach places ensures protection of chrome, wires, engines Matt black surfaces leaving a like new clean shine on the engine, no white spots or color change due to high heat from engine. I even use the Ceramic wax on patio furniture, pontoon, hot tub, gazebo and any other plastic or fibreglass items. Absolutely terrific product.
I used Car Pro UK 3.0 initially. However, I found it worked best with Turtle wax ICE spray sealant, in place of RELOAD or Hydrosilex, etc. The slickness and shine for my white vehicle is what I expected. Using this combo, very rarely does anything stick to it.
Great video Sir. Now it’s a personal choice of a detailer to apply a wax or a sealant or any spray ceramic spray on a car. But basically that might have a theory in regard to the colour of the car. Like a yellow or pink colour might pop and look good with a wax more than a sealant probably. A warm tone or a cold tone. So if that is the case, please make a video on how best protection elements can be decided based on the colour of the car. Thanks Pan
These days Ive been using liquid sealant and carnauba wax over it, since I live in Brazil, Carnauba wax is very inexpensive. Congratulatons on this video!
@@Outlawzand1 i think the opposite way would be the best way... first the ceramic spray and than the carnauba wax on top. I'm considering this method for my car but so far no information!!!
If you’re going to put items that close to your camera make sure you get something better with auto focus it was irritating waiting for your camera to focus.
Nothing focuses better than Canon’s dual pixel autofocus. I have a Canon 80D and it’s one of the best for autofocus. I can’t do more than that. Come on dude. I’m a one man show. I try my best. I hope that’s not all you took away from watching this video that took me soooo long to produce as that would be a sad thing.
Matt Ahmer if you’re going to put the effort towards paint correction you typically want the strongest protection as your foundation. Sealant or ceramic coating. Bead maker is more of a topper to enhance your base coat with a sacrificial layer.
Great video! I have had this request also but there is no way I could explain it like this plus my video would be 2 hrs long because I like to ramble. I will start directing them to this video. Glad to see Ethos sent you the new Ceramic wax.
Henry Freeman Hank’s Detailing Yeah I am good friends with Papasmurf so I know what he has been going through with it. I put it on my parents car back in September and it is still working great. Their car is the perfect test subject because it gets driven all over the country and rarely gets washed and when it does it’s a tunnel wash. It’s good that Tim helped everyone out that got the bad batch. My bottle was from the very first batch as I got it before it was released and so far I am happy with it.
Dude armor all is the basic bitch of detailing products. Literally mass produced for Walmart and markets. You think someone who doesn’t give a shit about his car or detailing in general, is gonna spend $18 for a bottle of collinite? For $18 you can probably get an entire low budget low quality detailing package at Walmart
Hi Pan, I have one question , can you apply first a ceramic coating like turtle hybrid solutions and then over a sealant like turtle ice seal n shine ?? The mix is more stronger ?? , Regards from Spain you do a good job in your videos, thanks for your time .
Well, as car and detailing enthusiast I still prefer old school. On my car I use wax for protection and spray wax after every wash as drying aid and to refresh the paint protection. I would probably use the paint sealant but I like working on my car it's relaxing and I don't mind spending an afternoon once in a while on it. Yes, I am aware that ceramic coatings are better, last longer etc...but what I'm gonna do then? Haha
I tried the sealant stuff. Very easy to use, spray on and buff off. The shine is maybe a bit too glossy, a bit artificial. Very reflective almost like a chrome effect. You can see objects reflected in the car surfaces. Waxes gives a deeper gloss so depending on the colour of your car the traditional waxes bring out the colour more and look better.
Thanks for the positive feedback! You discovered one of the biggest detailing channels on RU-vid as we surpassed 650,000 subscribers and are almost at 80 million views! I have been detailing cars for over 24 years now and I love sharing my passion and knowledge with my viewers. Since you subscribed to my channel, let me officially welcome you to the Pan The Organizer family! How did you discover my channel?
Finally ! been waiting on someone to make a breakdown video on the differences. It would drive me crazy not knowing what I should get. DANNNNN keep up the great content 💪🏼
Pan TheOrganizer I detail cars as a side job, so i always search tips and tricks on youtube to make my job easier and came across one of my favorite channels pan the organizer !
Hi, Pan! Hope you have a great day! I again have a question. Are different types of pain protection provide equal protection against different types of contaminations? For example, I’M very interested in max protection against tree sap and bird spots , because my car 365 days per year stands outside under trees and it cause serious damage to clear cote. Surprisingly, even 303 graphene nano didn’t prevent damage from tree sap
Opticoat ProPlus is simply the best, more so when topped with Hyperseal every few washes. The only downside is it leaves me only with the wife’s car to test products on. It’s shame the NV Car Care range is hard to get outside of Australia, you would be blown away by NV Jet/Lustre spray sealants topped with its maintenance product Boost. Would really love to see you get hold of some of this range to see how it compares.
Great, great, great!!! All the videos on your channel, without exception, are amazing. These videos that explain and compare brands and products help us a lot to understand and search for the ideal solutions for our needs. You are the man!
Collinite Insulator 845 has been my go-to for years now. I absolutely LOVE that wax. Does it last forever? No, but it leaves an amazing shine that my customers love.
Great work Pan, the question I have for you is... My car has a full PPF wrap, I've had good luck throwing on coating of SIO2 Sprays like Feynlab Ceramic Spray, Car Pro Reload and even a bottle of Torque someone gave me, every 2.5-3 washes as a final step. So, is it WORTH messing with the new "PPF" Ceramic offerings or should I just stick with a 2-3 wash cycle where I re-apply a SIO2 to the car? That seems to be working for sheeting/beading and increasing hydrophobic properties but maybe there is value in some of the newer offerings?
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the warm welcome. I've recently had my old bmw resprayed + I've been out of the detailing world for a few year. I was trying to research all the new types of coatings (I was a hand polish & wax guy). This was a suggested video from RU-vid. So much to learn + its difficult to sive through the marketing BS. This vid really helped 👍
Great video. Me living in a condo with no garage and my car exposed to the elements has found this video extremely helpful. I was thinking of applying a ceramic coating and now see that this is out of the question. I will stick to my traditional waxes and sealants. I have always gotten amazing results. Thanks Pan! Great and informative as always.
@@Ultrajamz it's because of the curing time. Once you apply a ceramic coating the car needs to be out of the elements or at least not get wet for 24 hours. I live in Miami. The weather is unpredictable. It can be hot and sunny with out a cloud in sight and then have a crazy thunderstorm within the course of a few hours. I live in a condo and don't have a parking space in a garage. My car is exposed to the elements at all times. This makes ceramic coatings kind of a bad choice for me. It wouldn't cure properly and I'm sure the humidity plays a huge factor in curing time and proper curing as well.
@@nasimwehbe8410 thank you for a sharing this! I live in Sarasota, and also in a complex. I was considering ceramic, but will opt for something else now that I read your comment. Thank you!
@Mode Bespoke your welcome bro. I actually go crazy on my car every 6 months and clay bar once a year. But every 6 months I do a basic compound from Maguires, then Maguires polish, then a good wax. I've tried all brands and my favorite waxes are Zymol, Maguires, Griots Garage, and Mothers. They have different types of waxes and I think I've tried them all. Great results with all those brands.
Great vlog as always pan, personally as a weekend warrior I’m a massive fan of the spray on rinse off products, there is however something to be said for applying a wax, its therapeutic and really rewarding. In the winter months a quick rinse off product is always my go to product, Autobrite Direct Sonic Sp-Rin-Ts or Autoglym Polar Seal are 👍
Hello Pan, thanks so much for your video, I find them very helpful. Quick question my mom bought me a second hand car and it seems the paintwork's not shiny at all, the top coat/clear coat is still there though. So I have bought, Meguiar's ultimate compound to remove the dullness of the paintwork And G3 Pro Surface Sealant to protect it. I'm not sure weather they're compatible, I e emailed both company and I've got no response. Thanks so much and I am looking forward hearing from you.
@@UaeDelta exo on my car for 2 years... still amazed by how it's still working. Best of all only £45.00 Ouch ,,, just checked out the kamikaze price list of their range .
Great video, Pan. 👍 My personal choices are paste carnauba waxes in the summer and sealants in the winter. I have only recently used Turtle Wax Sealant Hydrophobic Wax (as it is called here in the UK) and absolutely love this stuff. Easy to apply, cheap, great look and durability. 👍I would like to try a ceramic but.... It is not the application that is a concern for me, more the right conditions as I am an outside detailer. Very inclement weather conditions here in the UK.
@@lockergr used CQLITE on numerous cars. Awesome to use even outside and you can coat a car quite quickly. If you want to get greater durability, you can apply 2 layers.
It’s a great video for people like me(amateur car carers) about how to distinguish and choose the correct solution. Between, I’ve chosen Turtle Wax(wax and dry) for my first experience. I think it belongs to first group(traditional spray wax) which PAN explained. I own a metallic dark blue painted Golf mk7 and had 2 times of experience with it. I don’t know why but I really didn’t like this product despite of other majority who love it. I noticed that, car begins to get dirty faster. I was thinking it supposed to protect and slip the water away but unlikely, after some rain drops, the car seem like never washed in ages with mud and dust coat on it. Dust stands on car easily and it gathers more and more dust. There’s always water leaks remain on top of car and it seems really ugly and worse than before. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Is it the typical behavior of this product or what I am missing here? I handwash the car(with sponge and waxed car shampoo) and apply product with microfiber cloth while it is still wet. I’d be happy to see your comments. Thanks.
Awesome video very informative...up to now on both my Vettes one red the other black the best shine and protection I was able to come up with was.....starting off of course is a good Wolfgang polish which is most of your shine anyway...I top that with two coats of a good synthetic sealer which right now for me is Wolfgang...then I top that off with two coats of Pinnacle Sovereign carnauba past wax...with that I get the candy shine or wet fresh painted look combined with the warm deepness of the carnauba.........However for this year I just ordered in the Tacsystems Moon light with sio2 and the 3D hybrid polish and the Geon ceramic detail spray...not in that order of course I'll polish with the 3D polish first then the Moon Light then the Geon ceramic spray....I'll see how that compares to my other system...I'll only do one car then compare....Keep the great vids rolling!!!
I too love to spray on and rinse off for the rims etc. I also like to spray it around the paint inside the engine compartment as well. Great protection with less effort.
It is probably the best bang for the buck sealant out there... Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish is great too and is a little easier to apply but doesn't have any wax mixed in like the Seal N Shine. The wax mixed in gives it a bit of a "warmer" look.
Another great video Pan. Very informative. I recently paired Jescar Power Lock and P&S Bead Maker. Works awesome. And it’s really simple to top up. It works for me. I just find that while ceramics produce incredible gloss and protection, the time needed to polish and then apply (drying and curing times), for me anyway, is jus t a bit too much. Always enjoy your videos. 👍
Shannon Connock it isn’t in this video, but Pan has reviewed Bead Maker in his previous videos. I was simply stating it’s a combo that I use and that it’s a combo that works for me.
You damn rock man beyond rocking it 👍👍👌👌 me been using NU finish on a 2005 car that no longer have..now I'm sticking with turtle ice line and now upgrading to hybrid ones ...it gets the job done, in a short time period...I'm an easy wash,dry,spay buff done guy😎😎😎 love your videos more than washing my own car lol . keep up the fantastic job 💯
Do you have to do a lot of extra stuff if you ceramic coat like using certain soap and can you use a wax on top of it? I’ve wanted to do one for a while but I feel like it is very complicated.
It’s actually super easy to maintain a ceramic coated car. I have a popular tutorial showing you how here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yLiePQRMFc8.html
Cheers! For the graphene, I’m still waiting on the major brands to come up with their formulas. Currently, graphene is dangerous health wize apparently and they have to find a way to make that stuff safe.
Hi Pan, if I get a partial PPF (on my Tesla Model 3) is there any problem if I ceramic coat the areas without PPF for improved look/protection of my car? PPF is being put on professionally, but I am thinking of ceramic coating the rest of the body myself but wanted to know if its a bad idea or not?
Most wax jobs on a "daily driver" will only last about 4-6 weeks...Meguiar's NXT tech wax last about 6-8 weeks....A drive through car wash will wipe both of them off by the second trip. I havent tried any of the ceramic stuff yet...been out of the game for about 5 years Im getting back to my roots for a final time..
Thank you for this informative video, from Singapore here. It is a great video to differential the types of protection. I'm mostly on optimum products such as opti-coat pro, spray wax and hyper seal. Our Singaporean environment here can be rather harsh due to our tropical weather (Slight acidic rain) and constant tree sap, bird droppings. Making things simple to maintain by newer technology is always a welcome. Currently thinking to try the new turtle wax spray ceramic coating and see how does it compares to hyper seal. And you've brought my attention to this GYEON wet coat on it's spray on, rinse off application, might be a great idea for the rims. Thank you.
I wash my cars(correctly) if the weather permits. Get the paint as best I can for a wax. I typically use Dodo Juice Light Fantastic for my light color cars, or Souveran for dark cars. Use Griots Spray Wax as a drying aid. Re apply wax every 6-8 weeks. On my daily, I do the same. But top it off with Gyeon Bathe Plus.
I like the wolfgang twins to get the paint ready for csl/exo!! gtechniq rocks!! who wouldn't love something that blinds with shine,is easy to use,and lasts for years! i am a ceramic guy. not too crazy about throwing away my mf towels after coating removal....better to be safe than sorry. My 2004 z06 was corrected by claying,the wolfgang twins with orange and white ccs 6.5 inch pads using the flex3401 followed by panel wipe and two back to back coats of exov3 11.27.17 and it still glows and beads well!
We typically use IBIZ® - Carnauba Base wax about twice a year. And IBIZ® Waterless Car Wash & Wax on a regular to reinforce the base wax and clean in one step. It's super simple wipe on, wipe off, no waiting. We have gotten lots of compliments. Great shine and durability, in our noval opinion. Prior to Ibiz, we were big fans of the Turtle wax line of products. We just acquired a 2007 Jeep Commander Limited, and there are some water droplets stains on the roof, and some degraded clear coat on a couple of the tire rims. Any product suggestions would be great.
You're in luck. I have the most popular ceramic coating application tutorial on RU-vid (4 million views). Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-byKcYsEyWGk.html
Stressed about the different Coatings, especially ceramic. I just go with wax, and Spray Wax to touch up. Michigan we don't have a huge season of hot heat. I just care about my Classics that I only get out half the year. So traditional wax and touch-ups probably okay and not worry about the hybrid ceramic Superman stuff
Ok, this may have already been answered, but, why use a wax if it only lasts a few months. The do it yourself sealants and the ceramic hybrid coatings seem to be easier to apply, last longer and add a shine and ease of washing. They are only slightly more expensive than a basic wax. Im not sure if I would notice the "warmer glow" of a wax. Seems like, unless you REALLY like working on your car ALL the time, a do it your self ceramic spray (Like Turtle or Meguires) is the way to go. Id love to just wash the car, spray some ceramic coating on it once or twice a year and have it look great. Am I missing something? BTW, this was an exceptional video and love the quality and time you put it into it.
